Characters with lekku, montrals, horns, or any other sort of head protrusion sleep in the weirdest most concerning ways and you canNOT convince me otherwise.

Anakin has lost count of the amount of times he has walked in on Ahsoka face down, completely smothered into the pillow/floor/mat/bedroll and her ass up in the air for NO REASON AT ALL. Arm slung over her head and it can NOT be comfortable. Or face down like she just splat into concrete from 10 stories up and she HAS to be dead!?

So he wakes her up in a frantic haste, panicking more and more as he can't rouse her.

He calls kix and flips her over and he's kriff near starting chest compression or something when Ahsoka blearily asks, "Sk- Skyguy? Whatcha doin?"

And he throws his arms around her scolding her, holding her tight, muttering "dont ever scare me like that again!!"

And she mumbles okay

It happens again a week later.

He and the other regulars get used to it. But every so often a shiny will stumble upon Ahsoka sleeping like the dead and runs over panicking, calling for help. Obi-Wan or Anakin or Rex will go over and check on her. 'Check' meaning calling out her name, or random things to see what she might respond to this time, and look for any movement or noise. If she huffs, great. If she flips them off, even better.

They have a running tally of how many times they get flipped off, what the weirdest thing she has responded to is, who has gotten the angriest response, and every time they think she's *actually* dead.

It's a fun game. Especially when other Masters and Padawans and Clones join. Even better when someone else with lekku joins and sleeps in a concerning way.

Record so far is Master Ti, Master Secura, and Ahsoka all sleeping completely face down, non breathing, flipping them off when they checked on them. Jesse is so happy he snapped a holopic of it. He trades rations for copies of it. At least until Anakin confiscates it. (And shares it with the Jedi.)

This has been inspired by my weird ass sleeping positions and sleep demon doing weird things when i wake up. Enjoy! (Feel free to add images or examples. I tried finding some gifs but tumblr is as functional as ever :))))))) ) 🧡🤍💙

*clears throat* I can recognize that having Ahsoka's lekku/montrals be the correct length in a live-action show is perhaps not physically feasible whilst also being disappointed that she still has the adolescent-length lekku/montrals instead of the long, glorious, wise old lady lekku/montrals she should have

[theywontfindmethistime]

hang on... hear me out... Montrals right, you with me? Montrals but- get this- with stretch marks :D

I do not get on Star Wars much but I'm adding my own two cents to this. The way I correct Ahsoka's montrals and lekku length problem plot hole is by world building and just saying she's physically stunted. She was in war as a child so she had to do more physical activity then what was healthy for her. Same thing happens with gymnasts, if they practiced since they were a child they end up stunting their growth and end up staying short. Montrals and lekku would probably be hurt in the battles and constantly throwing her body around without rest. Her body was focused on healing, no growing.

"But Ahsoka's tall!" you may say.

Well, her head problem may be malnourishment. She basically lived on a warship that most likely only had rations for humans. The rations for humans may have the correct things for her body but not her montrals and lekku as they are built differently than the rest of her body. Most likely her species' diet was not taken into account or it was ignored as she wasn't human in a society dominated by humans.

No, she couldn't receive the nutrients later and grow her montrals and lekku the correct length that's not how biology works. If a child doesn't get the right nutrients, especially during childhood or puberty, they won't grow right. What causes kids to grow will usually only be released at certain points in time, like childhood and puberty, and not be released at any other time.

"They grow throughout her life!"

And it is possible what makes her montrals and lekku grow may have been damaged. We see that comparing young togruta and older togruta their montrals and lekku lengthen noticeable in their teen years. As such, we can assume that this is the real start of growth that will continue for the rest of their life. This is similar to how you already have head hair but body hair grows around puberty and won't stop growing for the rest of your life unless you get a disease that makes it stop growing. Or just so old your body dies on you.

Because that starting point of growth is damaged with from battle wounds and/or malnourishment it still means Ahsoka's montrals and lekku probably won't grow correctly, leaving her with short ones for her age for the rest of her life. They may even grow the wrong shape from the damage.

If you compared Ahsoka to Shaak Ti just remember Shaak Ti grew up in peace time and most likely was nourished properly according to the Togruta diet. Shaak Ti had a healthy life style and her montrals and lekku would grow correctly for the rest of her life unless she received an injury that somehow permanently damaged them in some way.

If I remember correctly there was the release of an official answer about why Ahsoka's montrals and lekku were so wonky. They were really trying to cover the differences instead of giving an actual explanation besides "that's just how it grows".

And before you go asking about the force fixing it, don't even try. Not even canon knows anything about it and this is a headcanon thing from someone who only dabbles in the Star Wars fandom from time to time. To me I would rather have this interesting world building explanation to fix a continuity inconsistency over leaving it be or just slapping the force over it to fix it.

Again, casual enjoyer, I don't know if the fandom has already come up with this or another explanation. Just tired of people constantly arguing about it and here's my two cents on how to basically ignore that to simply focus on watching the show.

no ok no but like I think I need to talk about this because I love this concept so much and can’t put that into a story this minute so now you get to hear me be fixated on small details but I think many togrutan live in a way that seems very hedonistic because of how they’re built. I think their music is next level throbbing and vibrating and they can feel the sound, making the term sensual even more literal than usual.

and I think they have a cuisine called song food, because the satisfaction humans get from biting into something with an awesome cronch will be turned up to eleven when you have montrals and lekku. I think that’s beautiful.

I think some togrutan chefs will cook a meal that is a whole carefully composed song

perhaps they even hand feed each other to get the beat right

and I think when a certain togrutan chef wants to cook for rex…well he’s going to make it special…
